The score resulted 2 to 1 in Manley's favor. Batteries Manley, Klesper and O'Brien; Avoca, Gruber and Gruber. IHE UM FELLOWSJICNIC II AVQGA i A GREAT SUCCESS Ifi EVERY WAY The Attendance Larger Than Ever Before and Attractions More Numerous and Much Better. A representative of the Journal had the pleasure of attending the annual picnic of the Odd Fellows at Avoca last Thursday, arriving at Av oca the evening before. Everything was a hustle and bustle with the managers to got things In shape for the morrow. After being safely quartered at the Oxford hotel, run by that genial host, GIp Brazelle, we felt content that our welfare would be looked after during our stay. Wednesday evening the clouds overhead denoted rain and the good people of the little city retired, pray ing that at least enough water would descent to lay the dust, but when they awoke the next morning from their peaceful slumbers they were greatly disappointed, as every ap pearance of rain had gone and Old Sol's countenance beaming up in the eastern horizon as bright and sassy as ever. About 9 o'clock the farm ers for mlels in every direction came pouring Into town with their families to enjoy the pleasures of the occa sion. As early as half past nine o'clock the people began wending their way to the beautiful grove, sit uated about a half mile from town, and by the noon hour the merry-go-round of Tulene Bros., was doing a land-office business, and the shows, kicking mule, lemonade Btands, knife and whip stands were raking in the shekels. The program did not begin at the stand until after the first ball game which was called for at one o'clock. The first game was between Elm wood and Manley, and was witness ed by quite a large crowd on the grounds adjoining the grove. It was a fast and furious content, resulting In a victory for Manley by a score of 8 to 5. The arrangements were that the Avoca team would play the win ners, after the program at the plat form was over with. Some very fine vocal and instrumental music inter ested the crowd previous to the ad dress of Judge Hayward, Republican candidate for congress. Mr. Hay ward was in very fair shape, consid ering the strenuous campaign he has been making. He spoke at the Eagle celebration the same day at 11 o'clock and then came direct to Avoca. The address of Judge Hay- ward . was well received. He is a young man of considerable ability and pleasing address and from what we could observe will have but pre cious little opposition, if any, to his nomination In the vicinity of Avoca. After the conclusion of the pro gram at the stand, a large crowd again repaired to the ball grounds to witness the second contest between Manley and Avoca. Then occurred the hottest game of the two, and the Avoca team fought hard and furious to retrieve the honors that Manley had captured from Elmwood, and for a while It looked that they were goiny to do It. But it seemed an Impossibility, and. the brave fellows went down in defeat by the very slim margin of 2 to 1 in favor of Manley. The latter team Is a good one, and so are the other two teams, and the Avoca boys deserve great credit for their good ball playing. This closed the program, but. the dancing plat form kept up a lively gait until the time Old Sol warned them of the re turn of another day. The band mus ic was furnished by Avoca's own band and we cannot close this ar ticle without saying a few words in their behalf. It is strictly a home organization, made up of the young men of the town and vicinity, and was only organized last winter. The boys have no uniforms yet, but we understand they have been promised them by one of Avoca's enterprising citizens. The boys made excellent music, Indeed far better than many bands we know of that has been playing for two or three years. The band Is a great credit to the town, and they, should be encouraged to keep right onward and upward In their good work. Nothing occurred during the day to mar the pleasure of the occasion, except the dust, which was intense. There were about 30 to 4 0 automo biles on the grounds, and strange to say, not an accident of any conse quent orrured and peahe seemed to be the order of the day. It was a grand gala day for Avoca and a great credit to the managers and all who took part. Oil io Clops Iooi Abraham Klmberly of Stockton, Ohto, spent a few hours In the city this morning, tn route to Greenwood, where he will vis:t relatives for a short time. Mr. Klmberly has been away from home a month, when he left, there was never a better pros pect for a corn crop than the farm ers had at that time. In the mean time no rain has fallen there, and hot winds have cooked the tassels of the corn until there will be very little corn raised in the vicinity this year.
